AFTER 20 YEARS OF DROOLING, I FINALLY OWN A MCGWIRE HR BAT!!

[Big Mac McGwire]

Christmas came early. Worked out a deal to bring home the McGwire Bat of my dreams today!!! Did your grandpa want a bat that babe ruth hit a HR with? Did your dad want a bat that Mickey Mantle hit a bomb with?? Well growing up as a little kid and even now into my adult life i have always wanted a McGwire HR bat. They exist, he was known to give them away to teamates,coaches and friends, but they never pop up for sale. Today i obtained a bat that was given to one of his teamates during his final season in 2001. His 2001 bats are already IMPOSSIBLE to find nonetheless a HR bat is just flat out rediculously impossible to obtain. I present to you, the bat of my dreams.....

Career HR # 576 , hit in Cinncinatti on August 21,2001

That's freaking awesome. How are you gonna frame that thing?

 

[shanks25]

I can't even begin to tell you how deep my hatred for you extends right now.

 

[Big Mac McGwire]

Random H- not sure, im gonna put on top of my TV for the time being.

Shanks- i feel ya. When the seller contacted me last night and told me that he accepted my offer of cash and trade i hit the roof. I got no sleep. I had to wake up at 6:30am and drove 3 hrs to upper pennsylvania to pick it up. I feel like charlie after getting the golden ticket.

That is an awesome piece to have and its always nice to see a player collector add a piece of the caliber to thier collection. Congrats

Looks Corked



























I kid! Great addition. Congrats man.

You know what would be awesome? To find a game tape of that HR, still frame it, print it out, and get it signed and framed to go beside it in display. Plus, the provenance of who it came from would be valuable as well in order to track its authenticity. Even if they wanted to remain anonymous, it would be cool to get something signed to track it back to them not for display purposes.

With his big signature it makes the barrel look kinda small! Real nice bat.

Congrats to you sir. A HR bat remains my #1 desired item for my Thomas collection.

what would be cooler is have a lcd built in to the frame replaying the hr.

That sounds expensive, but sweet. You could also go to Getty Images and see if they had one of their photographers at that game. There must be half a dozen photographers with pictures of that HR. I'm sure one of the wire services would sell you a print.
